Plant-based burger patty and sliced brisket, onion rings, plant-based provolone, southern slaw, pickle chips, bbq sauce, on a toasted pretzel bun.

A favorite at Native Foods (which is 100% plant-based) is the BBQ Brisket Burger. It’s a super filling and satisfying homestyle burger that you can’t go wrong with.

Customers get to choose between fries, steamed kale, side salad, lemon dill potato salad (my favorite), sweet potato fries, or a cup of soup. 

Honorable mentions goes to the plant-based Rueben Sandwich and Meatball Sub.
